Every breath we take in contains 21% oxygen, the gas that makes life on Earth possible. Oxygen, in its combined oxide state, has always been abundant in Earth's crust, but elemental diatomic oxygen ...

Scientists convert Earth's magnetic field collapse from 41,000 years ago into chilling audio, revealing ancient cosmic ...

Geologic records reveal that magnetic field strength and oxygen levels rise and fall together, implying deep-Earth processes ...

Earth’s anisotropic inner core structure driven by dipole geomagnetic field: Study. Chinese Academy of Sciences Headquarters. Journal Nature Communications DOI 10.1038/s41467-023-37376-1.

Earth’s magnetic field is a dipole field with two poles, like a bar magnet. When the poles flip, it could cause chaos for future humans.

Is Earth’s magnetic field crucial to the planet’s habitability? Did it enable the evolution of life? Scientists have pondered those questions for at least 60 years. 1 The geomagnetic field shields our ...

Mars used to have a geomagnetic field, but it waned into nothingness about four billion years ago; Venus, meanwhile, may have never had one at all – the scientific jury is still out.
